President Claudia Sheinbaum will meet with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer at the National Palace on Thursday, July 23 [1].
The meeting comes as Mexico seeks to navigate potential U.S. trade restrictions and the first formal review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, known as the USMCA.
According to official reports, the discussions will center on trade negotiations and the possibility of new U.S. tariff measures [2]. The urgency of the meeting is heightened by reports that the U.S. is considering tariffs targeting 60 countries [3].
Sheinbaum and Greer are expected to discuss how to avoid these measures while addressing the requirements of the USMCA review process [4]. The National Palace in Mexico City will serve as the site for these high-level talks [2].
Officials have not released a detailed agenda for the session, but the primary goal remains the stabilization of trade relations between the two nations [4]. The outcome of the meeting could influence the trajectory of North American trade policy as the U.S. evaluates its global tariff strategy [3].
This diplomatic effort is part of a broader strategy to ensure that Mexican exports remain competitive, and that the regional trade bloc remains intact despite shifting U.S. economic priorities [2].

This meeting signifies a critical juncture for the USMCA, as Mexico attempts to insulate its economy from a broader U.S. protectionist agenda. By negotiating directly with the Trade Representative, the Sheinbaum administration is attempting to secure a carve-out or favorable terms that would exempt Mexico from the sweeping tariffs currently threatened against 60 other nations.
